Destiny Udogie has sent a farewell message to Udinese ahead of joining Tottenham.

The Italy U21 wing-back signed for Spurs a year ago and was loaned back to the Zebrette for the past season.

Udogie said, “I have to thank the club so much for investing and believing in me over these two seasons. I can't say anything but thank you.

“I always believed in my own qualities, I just wanted to express them and Udinese gave me this great opportunity. I'm ready for the future and for the Premier League."

Udinese ended the season with defeat to Juventus and Udogie added: “We all wanted to win and end the season with a positive result in front of our fans. This is football, we are very sorry."
